Javier | String of Burritos
Why Mom will love Javier:
Javier sounds like the main character out of one of your mom’s romance novels you picked up when you were way too young to know any better. Javier is a plant of mystery, one of the more exotic looking succulents out there, and better yet, he’s easy to care for. Easy, breezy, and beautiful Javier. Ahhh.
Javier’s Care Routine:
This succulent is a best-seller for good reason! Javier, the Sedum Morganianum is super easy to care for. He stores water in it’s succulent leaves, so this burrito boy doesn’t mind forgetful watering habits. Water only when his top soil is dried out and keep Javier in bright, indirect sunlight.
Peggy | String of Pearls
Why Mom will love Peggy:
Coco Chanel said it best, “A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls.” But Peggy is changing up this famous quote and making it her own, “A mom needs trails and trails of pearls”.
Peggy’s Care Routine:
If mom loves pearls, Peggy will give a whole lot of ‘em, 60-90 cms long, to be exact! Peggy is a succulent from the drier parts of Africa, so she won’t require too much water and loves a bright spot in indirect sunlight.
Kate | Philodendron Cordatum
Why Mom will love Kate:
If you think your mom is the coolest person in the world (especially after raising you) well then Kate may be just the perfect plant to gift. Kate is basically the “Dream Girl” of the plant world, with long, trailing heart-shaped leaves. So if you have a super-human of a mom, show her how much you love and appreciate her by matching your mom with Kate.
Kate’s Care Routine:
Kate is a jungle plant so she loves warm, humid environments and bright, filtered sun but no direct light - think of all of those jungle plants living under the shade of the giant jungle trees. If Kate's vines grow too long don't be afraid to trim them back, that will help her to fill out a little more.
Johnny | Joshua Tree Cane Yucca
Why Mom will love Johnny:
Johnny is for the mom who should be treated to a Palm Springs vacation or an Sedona desert oasis. Bring the vacation to mom with Johnny, and maybe get a margarita mix in mom’s hand while you’re at it!
Johnny’s Care Routine:
Fun fact: Johnny, our Joshua Tree Cane Yucca is actually a succulent, despite being commonly confused as part of the palm family. Johnny is used being in the dry Mohave Desert sweeping the southwestern US, including California and Arizona, meaning he’s super easy to care for and doesn’t require too much TLC.
Kaa | Snake Plant (Mother-in-law’s tongue)
Why Mom will love Kaa:
The snake plant is also commonly known as Mother-in-law’s tongue because of its fleshy, sharp, sword like leaves. The name alone indicates just how tough this plant really is. Not tough to care for, but tough to kill. Yes we said it, this plant is hard to kill! So if your mom is new to plant parenthood, we suggest gifting her this trendy houseplant to have for a long time.
Kaa’s Care Routine:
Very little water is needed in the snake plant’s care routine. They can also survive in low light, what more could you want from a plant?

Eileen | Fiddle Leaf Fig
Why Mom will love Eileen:
Eileen is the perfect gift for the mom with the green thumb! Were you a handful growing up?! Well, Eileen can also be a bit of a challenge to care for, but definitely not impossible. But just like you, she’s worth all the TLC when she grows up!
Eileen’s Care Routine:

Vera | Aloe Vera
Why Mom will love Vera:
Moms are healers, period. If you’ve ever burnt, scraped, nicked or hurt yourself growing, then you know the power of a first-aid kit, and Vera is a green gift that every mom should have in their kit (or window sill in the kitchen, whatever works!). Aloe Vera is commonly known for treating burns and a common sight to see in Nonna’s, Oma’s, Baba’s, or Grandma’s kitchen! They know whatsup!
Vera’s Care Routine:
Vera is a hard-to-kill green amigo. She is a succulent and requires little watering as well as bright indirect sunlight.
